iPhone 18 Pro Leak Points to LPDDR6 RAM, 2nm A20 Pro and Higher Prices

Summary

  • High-resolution logic-board images purportedly from the iPhone 18 Pro show Apple pairing an A20 Pro chip with 96-bit LPDDR6 memory, signaling a notable hardware jump for the next Pro models.
  • The leak suggests Apple will use a 2nm A20 Pro and WMCM packaging that places memory beside the processor rather than on top, a layout aimed at better heat dissipation and steadier performance.
  • LPDDR6 could boost bandwidth, AI processing and power efficiency, though the motherboard images do not include markings that directly confirm support for the newer memory standard.
  • Those upgrades would also raise component costs, reinforcing expectations of a sharper price increase after Tim Cook warned last month that rising memory costs could make future iPhones more expensive.
